extra blank page in front of standardmakeup

extra blank page in front of standardmakeup

[Mojca Miklavec]

Dear list,

how can I prevent a blank page in front of title page in MKIV (apart
from the fact that font switching is not working)? In MKII this is
working perfectly fine.

\starttext
\startstandardmakeup
{\switchtobodyfont[50pt]\bf\centerline{Title}}
\vskip 3cm
{\switchtobodyfont[20pt]\centerline{\sl(manual)}} % \sl doesn't work either
\stopstandardmakeup
bla
\stoptext

Thank you very much,
   Mojca (a proud user of MKII :) :) :)

in lua code so i'd rather wait a while

when in a few years MKVI will show up you will change to MKIV won't you?

Try to avoid \switchtobodyfont if possible.

\startstandardmakeup[align=middle]
{\definedfont[Bold at 50pt]Title}
\blank[3cm]
{\definedfont[Slanted at 20pt](manual)}
\stopstandardmakeup

I don't know what exactly is going on here, but not even
\definedfont[Bold at 50pt] changes the font size. (Yes, I agree that
it's a much better option to use this in comparison to
\switchtobodyfont, I only slightly forgot about this alternative;
thanks; but it doesn't work any better at the moment.)

(It could be something weird with my installation as well.)

Hi Mojca,

Both your example and Wolfgang's suggestion work fine with my installation (Minimals on Mac OS X 10.6.3, ConTeXt  ver: 2010.08.20 00:00) either with mkii, or mkiv.

Maybe you ahve a problem with your installation?

Best regards: OK

it must be as there is always a fallback font name that then would scale 
to the 50pt so you should see something large

I'm sorry. It seems that I'm always the only one with problems :) :) I
first tried a fresh installation which worked perfectly fine. I
retried the old installation and it was still broken (same version of
ConTeXt). After that I deleted texmf-cache in the old installation and
magically both problems disappeared at once.

I'm sorry for the noise and thanks a lot for all the hints.

Mojca
